Shark Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner [CZ250UKT] Dynamic Technology, Anti Hair Wrap, Flexology, Pet Model, Blue & Silver

I've been needing a hoover for over 6 months as my older one (Amazon brand c.£50) didn't have enough sucktion to deal with my carpeted flat. I've been researching thoroughly for mo ths and had my mind made up on Vax one but I am so glad I saw this Shark hoover on October Amazon days and it made me think twice. I watched YT reviews of both hoovers and both were great but it stuck with me that the reviewer was super impressed with this vaccum's performance. I ordered it yesterday as I couldn't wait for Cyber Monday and it came today. I immediately got to hoovering bcuz I was so excited (lol adult life).OMG this hover is so great I was impressed from the start. I was worried that the sucktion is going to be so strong it will be difficult to move the hoover but it goes very easily and the sucktion is still very very strong. You can easily control carpet/floor setting and strenght of sucktion, the hoover moves easily. It cleaned the carpet so well, as my carpet hasn't been properly hoovered in months. You can see pictures before/after (i know i still have to wash the carpet but its already a big difference). On the video you can see all the dirt that came out JUST AFTER 1ST CLEANING! Don't know how long its going to hold but the plastic and parts look very good quality and I have nothing to complain about. I am over the moon and this hoover meets all my wildest fantasies haha

We moved to the UK about a year ago from Norway. In Norway we stopped using wall-to-wall carpets in houses in the early eighties, so the need for vacuum cleaners with anti-hair wrap technology is not something you really need in Norway. Good suction power will suffice. The house we got in the UK had carpets though, and as quite a few of my family members are allergic, having the means to thoroughly vacuum the carpets suddenly was a must.We bought a different Shark, The Powered Lift-Away Anti-Hair Wrap vacuum, immediately upon arrival in the UK, mostly due to its good reviews. It worked perfectly on the carpets, and I loved the lift-away bit for use on the stairs, but the one thing this Shark could not manage, was properly getting under the beds. We tried using our robot vacuum for this, but it just could not properly handle carpets. Therefore, when we saw the Shark Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner was on sale, incorporating the same anti-hair wrap technology as the lift-away vacuum did, we decided to buy this one as well just on account of the ability to flex the handle to get under furniture.I have tried it a couple of times now, and I am impressed by its ease of use. The ability to flex the vacuum to allow it to get under the beds is awesome. Also having all controls on the handle (power on/off, adjusting suction power, and switching between carpet and hard floor mode) is a nice feature.All in all, I am impressed by this vacuum. Prior to buying it I read in other reviews that it was a bit heavy to operate, but I cannot say I share this view. Even on full suction power I felt it moved easily enough on the carpet. Naturally it will be a bit heavier to move it back and forth when vacuuming a carpet on full suction power, but this, in my opinion, this is to be expected. Vacuuming carpets is not the same as vacuuming hard floors, and this did not really cause me any problems for me. If the price of having clean carpets is having to use a little bit of elbow grease from time to time when I vacuum, it is a price I am willing to pay. As to the overall weight of the vacuum itself, it is certainly not heavier than any of the other vacuums I have owned up through the years, and it rolled nicely on the floor as I moved around the rooms.Emptying the vacuum, as well as cleaning the filters, is just as easy with this one as with the other Shark we own. The one advice I would give though, is to empty the vacuum container outside if you have the chance. The finer dust particles easily go flying when you open the hatch into a waiting garbage bag.If there is anything I would comment upon as a negative, it is the placement of the attachment piece for the extra tools. I am not sure if I did something wrong, but the way they ended up being positioned, they were in the way when I was vacuuming under the beds. It would be better if they made room for these attachments on the vacuum body itself. As a result, I have chosen to not use this attachment. Whenever I need the tools for vacuuming the furniture and the different nooks and crannies in the house, the tools are never far away anyway. Also, the head of the vacuum is a bit on the big side. It has to be to incorporate the anti-hair wrap technology. As a result, it will not necessarily fit under all furniture, especially furniture with very low floor clearance.As with all other vacuums of the same kind I have owned, the cord can end up being a pain sometimes as you move around, and the auto spooling mechanism of the power cord has to be manually aided from time to time, but for me this is no big deal.All in all, I have to say this is a very good product, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good vacuum for use on carpets. The folding handle enabled me to finally access areas under beds properly. Had I known about this product when I first arrived in the UK, I would not have bought the Shark lift-away vacuum, but as it stands now, I will have to make good use of them both going forward.

This is a great value bagless vacuum. I've had a Dyson animal cylinder for the last five years. This one is so much lighter and doesn't hurt my ears. At a touch of a button you can swap from laminate to carpet which is great for rugs on laminate. I did find the head quite heavy at first and a struggle but soon got used to it. I thought that the light on the head was a gimmick but it is actually really useful. The suction is great and has 3 levels. It collects bits and dust right up the edge of the skirting board. The bit you drag behind you wheels freely and is really light. I don't like the accessories on the pipe so leave them separate and it didn't come with a little brush so will look for one. The cable is super long and I can do the whole upstairs or downstairs with one plug in. Great on the stairs too, the mini head is what I use. Very pleased. I hate buying household goods like this but this was very worthwhile and I feel the house is cleaner.One of the best things is it is so easy to clean and dries quickly. My Dyson was a nightmare to clean and I never could get into the 8 fycluders to remove all the dirt. After using it to clean the whole house I was the two filters, the large and small compartment. I have just bought some replacemt filters so I don't need to wait for it to dry.

I grew up in a household with Rainbow system, so my expectation from a vacuum cleaner can't really be higher. This is probably the next best thing (and compared to Rainbow, this is actually affordable)—a true marvel of home appliance engineering. Every aspect of it is made to make the loathsome chore, the never-ending fight against the dust and other nuisance, much less contemptable and seem more worthwhile, as it ends up being less effort for a better result.The powered brush in the vacuum head is a must if you are serious about getting rid of more than just the bare minimum. From observation with multiple other vacuums, some dust particles have too small surface area to be affected by the ordinary vacuums, even if they are powerful machines, so the air just passes over the particles; therefore, the dust should be first disturbed by a solid object (like a brush, feather duster, etc.) to be raised into the air, and then sucked right into the vacuum—this is when the powered rotating brush in the vacuum head comes into play, along with the strong suction. It also "massages" the carpet, to give it a more in-depth clean (almost like a carpet beater would).Sure, it has a cord, but that is necessary due to the technological constraint if you need to clean an extensive area for more than a few minutes at the time—though the cord is 9 metres, which allows us to do the entire two-story house without having to re-plug it even once.Where it also shines is ergonomy: from the controls on the handle, through the gliding unit being so smoothly manoeuvrable, to the change of heads being possible without having to bend down most of the time. You can even use it while the unit stands upright, due to the placement of the vents.However, it is on the bigger side, so it may not be particularly suitable for small living areas, where the cordless vacuum may be sufficient. Pushing the head over a thick carpet can be a bit of work, but that the carpet actually looks clean afterwards is definitely worth it.Thank you Shark engineers, a job truly well done!

Good product. Light to move around on any surface, great suction and very easy to empty. Also good to put away as the pipe folds so you can tuck it under the stairs or in a cupboard. The only reason it did not receive 5 stars is that just like every vacuum I have ever owned, my hair ends up wrapped around the brush head, which I then have to cut and remove, which takes ages. As this is one of their selling points I think they need to revisit their technology as it is misleading and does not work. Having said that, I do like the vacuum.
